I like to write paper mail...nobody does that…
“I like to write paper mail...nobody does that anymore...with my pen pals. John Doe from the band X played my dad on One Tree Hill, and he just collects post cards from all the places he's toured and doesn't write a whole lot. He's not into that, but he's a good pen pal. Still, you write things out when you actually write a letter. When you right an e-mail, it's all smiley faces and LOLs and shit.”
